for everyone with the washing hair issues, my mom had me lean back into the kitchen sink and it was easy to do that way..i definitely could not have gone a week without washing my hair!
I'm wondering how those of you who got your nose done (recently or in the past) dealt with not picking your nose??? lol... it's a bit of a silly question, but I'm very serious too. For me, I HATE the feeling of a plugged up and crusty nose filled with boogers (which is not the same feeling as a stuffed nose like when you get a cold, this I can deal with) so I have to clean everything out perfectly in the morning and at night lol. I recently made plans for a rhinoplasty in July, but this is probably the only thing that I'll have trouble with lol.
Rose Tears, you are really cute and you have a lovely nose. It looked lovely also before (it was little and nice). If everything goes well, I think my before/after will be more drastic than yours (I had a wide tip nose).
Ashsin, I think 10 days is the minimum "period in bed". It depends on you and your recovery time. In 15 days they say that you can come back to your normal life. You can't go around with the splint on your face...and you have to keep it 10 days.
For me today is the third day, and my throat still hurts a lot. The bruises on my eyes, in some areas are changing to yellow, this means that are healing.
My face is less swollen, but I still feel like having a flu...
wow i love this thread.. i am also looking to get this procedure done.. but have a huge problem.. i cant take too much time off work.. the most i can take is 10 days.. and im an airline pilot so i dont know if i will be able to fly in 10 days after a surgery.. anybody have any answers?? ive been wanting this for sooo long...and btw "rose tears" you look gorgeous .. how many days after the surgery were the pics taken??
& what about sneezing? I don't really sneeze, but I could. It could just happen & catch you off guard.
haha for me, after the tubes came out on day 3 i used a flashlight to see what I was doing (I didn't want to disturb any sutures) and some warm saltwater..and Q-tips. and gently clean away any mucous and other stuff...crustyness LOL I posted a good irrigation technique that has been my salvation these past few days if you want to go see it. The link is in my signature.
I had my nose done 26 years ago...when I was 15 (yes...15!) I had a horrible bump on the bridge that all the kids in school would call me 'eagle beak'. It got so bad that I just didn't want to go to school anymore. My parents saw the effect it was having on me and were kind enough to do something about it. I had it done over Christmas time that year, and it was the greatest thing I ever done.
Although the only bad part was when the doctor took a little hammer and cracked the bridge of my nose, I only felt pressure. My recovery was pretty quick and now my nose is 'cute'. Here is a picture of me and my new nose:

I am just wondering...What is the cost of getting rhinoplasty? I am hoping since I will be working in a hospital soon I can get coverage lol.
